Zo wZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD KOHN, a citi zen of the United States,residing in Manhattan borough, in the county of New York and State ofNew York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cigar andCigarette Holders and Ash-Receivers, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to an article which can be cheaply made and whichcan be attached or dismounted as required.

This invention is set forth in the following specification and claim,and illustrated in the annexed drawings, in which Figure 1 is a sideview of a device embodying this invention applied to a table or support.Fig. 2 is a plan view of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 shows a blank.

This combined cigar and cigarette holder and ash-receiver is providedwith a spring clasping-j aw whereby the device is attached to the edgeof a table or shelf.

In the drawings the letter a designates the cigar-holder, which has itssides bent upward in the form of a tray or scoop, so that when a cigaris placed thereon it will not roll off. One portion of this tray orscoop is provided with a cup or receptacle 1) to receive the ashesdropped from the cigar. This cup and the tray, as shown, is preferablystamped out of a single piece of sheet metal. The bottom of this cup isprovided with lugs 0, having a ivot d, to which is attached a jaw or arme.

etween the lugs and coiled around the pivot isa spring f. One shankengages with the under part of the cup, while the other shank pressesthe handle part of the arm downward. The spring tends to force the jawportion of the arm upward to engage or clasp the under surface of atable or shelf g, thus providing a simple method of detachably attachingthe cup and its tray or trough to any convenient part of the table.

This device when made or stamped from a blank or one piece of materialcan be cheaply made.

The holder or trough portion a, flares toward the cup, so that the widesurface enables the cigar or cigarette to be easily grasped or liftedtherefrom. The edges of the trough prevent the contents rolling offlaterally. As these edges diminish in height toward the cup part b, thefingers at this part have ready access to the article on the trough.

The outer edge of the ash-cup rises above the level of the trough or thebottom of the trough, so that an article on the trough cannot be pushedoff, but will be stopped by butting against the edge or raised part ofthe cup or reservoir b.

I claim A holder and ash-receiver pressed from a single blank having aparallel-sided troughforming portion and an enlarged or widened curvedportion, part of the parallel side portions being bent along inclinedlines to form a trough of narrow and deep shape at its free end and flatand broad at its rear or inner end, a portion of the blank between thetrough-forming and the flaring portion being left flat and bent with thecurved edge portion to an inclosed cup or ash-receiver having a bottomwith inclosing wall entirely about the bottom, said cup being of equalwidth with the rear or flat portion of the trough.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
